I’m a Network Administrator and Network Engineer with 5+ years of hands-on experience designing, configuring, and maintaining enterprise network infrastructures. My primary focus is Cisco networking technologies, where I work with routing, switching, LAN/WLAN environments, network security, and SD-WAN solutions.
I currently hold the Cisco CCNP Enterprise (ENCOR) certification and I’m actively preparing for the CCNP ENAUTO certification to further expand my network automation and programmability skills.
I enjoy building stable, secure, and scalable network environments — from small business infrastructures to more advanced enterprise deployments. I’m experienced with Cisco ecosystem technologies, Fortinet security solutions, and network monitoring/identity management platforms.
What I can help you with:
* Cisco Routing & Switching
* VLANs, STP, EtherChannel
* OSPF, BGP, EIGRP
* LAN/WLAN Configuration
* SD-WAN Deployments
* Fortinet Firewall Configuration
* VPN Setup & Troubleshooting
* Cisco ISE (802.1X & MAB)
* Network Security & Access Control
* LibreNMS Monitoring
* MikroTik Configuration
* Network Troubleshooting
* Infrastructure Optimization
I’m passionate about networking, problem-solving, and delivering reliable solutions that improve performance, stability, and security.
